A pregnant woman stabbed repeatedly by a relative earlier this week continues to recover, along with her unborn child, in a hospital, where they are both in stable condition. Days after the attack, she told a detective the incident occurred because her husband’s uncle was upset over a court ruling and had been drinking.

Jill Feingold, who is 22 weeks pregnant, told a 911 dispatcher Monday that Samuel Roy Cone II, 59, stabbed her more than 25 times, including in her neck and chest, and that she was surprised she wasn’t dead.

Cone was arrested Monday at a home at 1025 NE 12th Ave. and was taken to the Marion County Jail, where he was charged with attempted murder.

According to Ocala police, Feingold was taken on Monday to Ocala Regional Medical Center and then was transferred to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville the same day. She was interviewed there by a detective on Thursday.

Feingold told Detective Shawn Minucci that a court had ruled that Cone’s sister had received power of attorney over their mother’s affairs and Cone was upset about the ruling and had been drinking. She said she was washing dishes when he came into the kitchen, got a knife from a drawer, approached her from behind and stabbed her in the neck.

She said Cone repeatedly stabbed her and that they went into the living room. There, she said, Cone was on top of her, continuing to stab her, when she told him she was going to die. She said he got off her and told her he was going to call 911, according to reports.

Feingold said she managed to drag herself into a bedroom where she called 911.

Police said they never received a 911 call from Cone.

Detectives have submitted evidence collected at the scene for analysis and are awaiting results.

Earlier in the week, Cone said the home is owned by his mother and that he lives there. He reportedly apologized for what he did and said, “They took all I had.”

He reportedly told a detective, “I know I’m going to the gas chamber.”

Officials found the weapon, described as a filet knife, in the living room.

At his first appearance hearing on Tuesday, Cone was denied bond. His next court date is in April, and he is being represented by a public defender.
